Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on August 01, 1934)

Happy Birthday, Hermann Baumann! May your celebrations hit all the right notes—unlike that pesky horn student who never quite found their rhythm! From delighting us with masterful performances alongside the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, to captivating audiences while playing finely tuned harmonies with the Dortmunder Philharmoniker—you've truly shown brass brilliance at its best.

Beyond performance halls and standing ovations, you've composed melodies and crafted lessons inspiring countless aspiring musicians. Thank you for filling our ears (and hearts) over these musical years; may today be filled with laughter louder than a misplayed note during rehearsal. Here's to many more harmonious years ahead!
